It was in Indianapolis where he met his love and future wife Jean Lucas Braund. Besides his many travels and adventures with Jean, Bob’s other enjoyments were his lawn that won first place in the neighborhood for many years, model railroading, and the Indy 500 that he rarely missed. He moved back to Willoughby following his wife’s death and resided at Breckenridge Village with all the other amazing residents there that made him feel so much at home. In his last few years, he found enjoyment in the company of his good friend Pat Merideth who shared a love of watching comedy shows and baseball games.  Bob is survived by daughter Jacquie, grandson Jon Kurzinger (Erin) and three great grandchildren (Charlie, Grace and Amelia); niece Cortney Braund Rice (Daniel) and great niece Penelope, of Denver, CO; brother Kenneth also of Denver; and dear friend Pat Merideth.

Robert F. Beverstock "Bob"

July 23, 1953 - May 12, 2021

Robert Fuller “Bob” Beverstock, Jr., 67, died peacefully at home on May 12. He left behind his devoted partner, Tracy Shifflett, whose tireless dedication eased his path during his nearly 2-year battle with cancer. He is survived by his mother, Ellen Beverstock (the late Robert F Beverstock), sisters Mary Ellen Cain (Edward) and Beth Paoloni (Richard), brother, Matthew (Susan) and Nathan Shifflett. He will also be missed by his many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Bob will always be remembered as a man of many interests and abundant talents. He could build anything, grow and cook everything, and remember every lyric from every song from 1960 on. Beyond Tracy, Bob’s two great loves were boating and having fun. He was the life of the party and hosted many hilariously themed bashes. While we will look fondly on his mischief and laughter, we will never forget his decency, loyalty and generosity with his time and talents. He loved his family and his many, many friends and would do anything for any one of us.

Godspeed, Bob. We hope you’re wearing some really wild pants in heaven.

Private family services to celebrate Bob’s life will be held.
